ellenklutz Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 I am another Bloghosts refugee and I am about to move from Bloghosts to TCH. However, I want to back up my website before I do. I have generated the backup file but I can't figure out how to ftp it to my computer. I need Super Dummy instructions because I have never FTP'd anything to anything before. Also, can anyone give me an estimate for the downtime associated with a CPanel to CPanel transfer? I'd like to minimize the amount of time my site is down (or at least do it on the weekend when no one will notice). Thanks, Ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Don Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 In your blogghost cpanel > backup click on the link for download home directory (not full backup) also click on the links to download all your databases and e-mail filters and alias. This will give you compressed backups of everything. Of course you will have to edit some things to change the user name if you were to upload them here. It is easier to open a help ticket here and ask the techs to copy your account over to here. They will need your info for both accounts.

ellenklutz Posted December 8, 2004 Author Share Posted December 8, 2004 I am planning on doing the Cpanel to Cpanel transfer, I just wanted to get a backup copy onto my computer incase something goes wrong with the transfer (hopefully not). Thanks for your help - I'm very excited to move to TCH. -Ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
